Don't know where people are getting information that he is 2 weeks away. From what I've read, he should return sometime during the 6 game road trip this week. My guess is that if he doesn't make it to Detroit by Wednesday, they probably will hold off and bring him up Friday for the opener in New York (rather than flying him to Detroit for 1 game).

Kendrick is working to develop strength and confidence in his left hand, weakened by a broken bone in the middle finger when he was hit by a pitch from Oakland's Chad Gaudin on April 17.

Advice: Manager Mike Scioscia is hopeful Kendrick -- hitting .327 and playing excellent defense when he was injured -- will be back with the Angels on a road trip that opens on Tuesday in Detroit. Kendrick is expected to play through the weekend and then be evaluated.

Hit another one today... As of right now he is hitting .333 with 3 HRs and 10RBIs in 7 games at Salt Lake and also stole a base today. Rotoworld suggests he could be active for the Angels for tomorrow's game and with this performance he definitely should
